LaunchBox 14.0.1 Beta Thread

[arcademode]

Maybe I'm the only one, but since the introduction of screensavers I haven't had any success with marquee or ledblinky working when screensaver is on - 14.0.1 included.  Ledblinky just goes blank on the buttons and the marquee stays on whatever was last on screen before the screensaver starts.

Hey guys. Found a bug which affects multi-monitors. So i noticed a lot of the time if BB isnt the active window when i launch a game, i can hear BB navigation sounds at the same time so my controller is basically controlling BB and the emulator/game at the same time even though the emulator is on top of BB. If I click on BB 1st to make it the active window and then launch the game/emulator, my controller will work on the emulator/game only (normal behavior).

Hello all

I noticed that after upgrading to version 14.0, that the load time of big box has increased to close to a minute. Prior to the update, load times were about 30 seconds. I have already disabled storefront imports and non-local related games and neither has helped with load times.

I also encountered this one time, but only once so far.

I haven’t had any crashes since the update! Overall much better!! Only thing I’d like to see is Bigbox seems slower now. When I launch a game and it gets through the loading game message I get a black screen for about 7-8 seconds. Also the wheels don’t seem to load as fast as before if I scroll to a letter the wheel is blank for a couple of seconds. Other than that seems much better!!!

I'm on LaunchBox 14.0.1 and noticed a checkbox titled Default Emulator under Tools, Options, Platform Details.
Enabling this checkbox does not show the Default Emulator field in the right pane when in Platform view.
Am I missing something here?
By the way, I don't know whether the option is a recent or an earlier addition to LaunchBox, so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong thread.

I've never noticed that before either. 😊

Try a different platform.  On my minimal laptop setup, Arcade shows MAME, Atari 2600 - RetroArch and for Windows (Steam), it doesn't show up at all.

Double check that "the" emulator has "Default Emulator" is checked for its platform.
